About

Git was initially developed as a distributed version
control system to manage the development of the Linux
kernel. Almost a decade later, Git became one of the
most popular version control systems, and Microsoft
added support for Git to the Visual Studio IDE.

Edward Thomson has been building version control
software for decades, and was one of the developers
who brought Git into Microsoft. Edward was a
Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, where he
developed the low-level repository management
functionality for Visual Studio.

Edward is currently a software engineer at
GitHub, where he continues to build solutions for
the Git version control system.
